The senior did enough damage by halftime to wreck Randolph’s perfect regular season, and he got plenty of help from his Raider teammates.

Ramapo led by four touchdowns at the half and did not let up, unleashing a punishing green wave and overwhelming Randolph 42-0 in an SFC crossover game.

The battle of unbeatens did not live up to the hype as Ramapo completed its perfect regular season. The Raiders will embark on a journey for the program’s 11th sectional title that will likely start next Friday with the top seed and a first-round game in the North 1 Group 3 playoffs.

What it means

Ramapo is expected to get the No. 1 seed in North 1, Group 3 when the state playoff brackets are officially released on Sunday.

The Raiders will be making their 26th postseason appearance since the modern-playoff era began in 1974.

Despite the loss, Randolph is still expected to get a top four seed and host first-round playoff game in North 2, Group 4. The Rams will be making their 26th playoff appearance.

Key play

With Ramapo leading 14-0 early in the second quarter, Wingfield connected with wide receiver Isaiah Savitt in the corner of the end zone for a 25-yard touchdown to put the Raiders securely ahead.

By the numbers

► Wingfield rushed for 106 yards on 13 carries and one TD and was 6-for-9 passing for 166 yards and two TDs.

► Savitt caught two passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns.

Did you know?

► The Green Raiders finished the regular season undefeated at 9-0 for the fifth time in school history and the first time since accomplishing the feat in 2003 and 2004.

► Ramapo is 25-7 since joining the SFC in 2016 and since claiming their last state title in 2015.

► Prior to Friday’s matchup, the teams met only once before. In 1999, Ramapo earned an 18-13 win in a Week 2 regular-season game.

They said it

"We knew Randolph was a great team coming into this game. When we started warming up in pregame we had such a lot of energy and I knew we were going to have a great night. We have a great offensive line and receivers and got it done tonight. We're so confident right now and we're playing our best football at the right time. But wherever we're ranked, we're going to keep winning games and I think we're number one." - AJ Wingfield

"I think this win definitely puts us at the top of everything. I called it at the beginning of the year and said we were going to go undefeated. We're going to keep it going and continue what we've been doing." Isaiah Savitt
